"You... are calling me weak?" Umbra stepped closer to Nip, up to the point where they were only a step apart. "I know there's the phrase of... taking one to know one. But I don't think that applies here. I know weakness when I see it. And you..." Her larger jaws turned toward him, opening to...

Bullets whipped past Dave's ears and over his head; one shot him in the back of his leg, but Mia only briefly stopped to tell him to keep running. The churchgoers weren't chasing them. "We're leaving," Mia said, pointing at the road. They'd made it to the sidewalk, a trail of blood marking a...

Raven gasped and tired to fly away, but instead toppled over the ground next to Mellow and groaned. "What... are you doing?! I'm--I'm not with you! I'll nevert be with you, I'm with the village, I'm--I was about to be accepted! Why can't you get that? I'm... I need this home. You're... going to...

Puddle held its fist in the air, trembling. That attack could have blown several of the training dummies away all in one blow, but he only held it, doing what it could to maintain that focus. Slowly, it turned its head. "Then... then what is my name? What... am I? Or am I just... going to...

"I won't let you defeat me so easily, Eien," Diyem said, spreading his wings. "Snap out of it! I know you're still there! WAKE UP! Stop this pointless storm!" The creature roared back and Diyem couldn't even recognize her sound. A few more heads fired at him... Diyem winced, spotting the...

"I know as much as you do," Burhalla said. "I came from your memories. Don't you remember?" But Burhalla didn't do anything just yet. He watched Saltriv closely, red flame gently shrinking in size. "Well?" Burhalla said. "What are you going to do? Sit there and wait? You know this village...

Mia agreed and ran past the humans and out of the main chamber room. The humans looked like they were about to fire, but then Dave's snarls--his attack on the human--made everyone suddenly pause and shudder. "Wh-what the fuck is wrong with these... abominations?!" The one that Dave attacked...

"You DARE... defy me? Your Father!?" He tugged on the Soul Blade again, but the chains were strong, and he couldn't pull out of it. He also couldn't let go. "FALL!"

The villagers readied their attacks; a horrible voice was still shouting for Cynthian to strike, to do anything, and while it felt like this presence was powerful, like it was trying to force her into attacking against her will, it couldn't get a single foothold. There were no longer any Shadows...

The ball of light did not respond, not immediately. But it felt as if the chains that bound them together loosened. They did not sever--would it ever be possible to remove such bonds?--but they loosened. Just enough that they were no longer a firm binding, but something only there, adrift but...

"Yeah... y'know... I..." Luz tried to say something more. It was obvious what she would say. But the words didn't come. She smiled. The red lights were fading. The core's electricity was almost completely gone. But she wasn't afraid anymore. Because even if Brisa would leave... everyone had to...

The nameless Shade wheezed once as his body was squished under Bahamut's weight. "A-ahh... thisssss... isssss... a new... feeling..." It was like watching a pool toy deflate. "...I hear her... Eien... that one... Her influence... on me... is fading... Aaahhh..." Esper's bright light flowed into...

Luz was on her knees, sitting up. She leaned against Brisa, holding her breath, if she had any--no. No... she didn't have any. There was no need to fake that anymore, was there? Her bones and her fur and her skin and everything she tried to do to imitate what it meant to be real... And yet...

Owen stepped toward the exit again. "STOP!" The indigo flames crossed Owen's back, and he winced slightly at that one before slowly turning back to look at her. He sighed, contemplating something, and then nodded. "You aren't going to come with me if I leave, are you?" "Y-you won't leave...

Echo's wings faltered and he crashed into a nearby desk, squeaking in pain. "Get up," Cyrus said dully. "Childishly saying that I am the things I have called you... Do you have anything of substance? Anything of... worth? ...Of course you do not. Crobat. Rise." Echo winced, nursing one of his...

"I dunno. What do I know?" Lexx asked, smirking again, like this was some kind of mind game to him. Even though he was definitely close to being killed if he pressed himself too long, either by Starr, or by... "Maybe it has to do with where we are right now," Lexx went on. "Maybe the true...

"Ngh--!" He swung his blade back, but then it got caught by the chains several feet away. His eyes, wide with surprise and anger, stared directly at Icetales. "How... DARE you. Do not think this is the end... My scythe may not work, but certainly the elements shall! Face my wrath!"

"Don't... talk t'me... like you know..." Her words were weak, like she only spoke with her breath and no power, no thunder, behind it. She wobbled toward Brisa and swung at her, but the arc was so wide and the movement so telegraphed that a trivial motion would evade it entirely. "I... I'm gonna...

Instantly, all of the driftwood around Cabot had become even thinner, and he was sent flying into the water with now-smaller pieces and fragments of the boat to climb onto. If this kept up, Cabot would run out of stable footing entirely... Pleo roared once the winds stopped, his glowing red...

Diyem twirled his warhammer and frowned, pensive. Yes, it seemed that he wouldn't have a choice here. No matter what happened... He had to fight Eien. But this was predicted. He knew this was going to happen. But what he didn't expect was to be alone for it. But in the end, wasn't he always...
